Chat history
Animated chat-style messages, for when the source material is genuinely dialogue.
When to use it
Chat history renders a conversation as animated messaging-style bubbles, appearing in sequence as the timeline advances.
This is a deliberately niche type. It fits when the source material genuinely is dialogue — a support exchange, an interview excerpt, a scripted conversation. For anything else, a slideshow gives more control.
Building the conversation
Messages are driven from the project's data rather than typed into the canvas, so a long conversation is edited as a list rather than as individual elements.
Pacing is what makes this type work. Real conversations have uneven rhythm, and messages arriving at a metronomic interval read as artificial — vary the timing so it feels like people talking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should we use this or a slideshow?
Chat history when the content is genuinely a conversation and the messaging format is the point. A slideshow for anything where you want control over layout.
Can we style it to match a specific messaging app?
Colours and styling are adjustable, though the goal should be a conversation that reads clearly rather than an exact reproduction of any particular app's interface.
